I think many improvements would make Libreoffice/Openoffice faster. We can start to work on each one without waiting for the other to be released.
Working on the script would possibly not provide a big benefit on fast machines. However, on energy efficient machines there should be a noticeable benefit as on my machine : 30% of the cold startup time. Moreover, working on the configuration script seems easier than working on parallel startup of LibreOffice/OpenOffice processes and/or parallel reading of document files. Thus the "Return On Investment" should be interesting for this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to openoffice.org in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/452073 Title: [Upstream] Shouldn't detect configuration at each invocation Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: New Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org At each invocation of oocalc, oowriter or ooimpress, the /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice shell script is executed. This script will quite always guess the same environment variables. Moreover, guessing those values is time consuming at the well known critical startup time of openoffice. I think we could cache the below environment settings into a /var/lib/openoffice/basis3.1/program/environment.sh file: ----- FILE_LOCKING=auto OPENGL_SUPPORT=no SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1 SAL_NOOPENGL=true JITC_PROCESSOR_TYPE=6 sd_cwd=/usr/lib/openoffice/program sd_binary=/usr/lib/openoffice/program/oosplash.bin ----- Those environment settings could be calculated again by an apt trigger or a daily cron task.
